Module -Storytelling
How can I support my learners in developing further specific competences?
Storytelling is an interesting and powerful tool in (adult) education. However, like any tool or method, it should not be used for its own sake, but with a goal and purpose. It is not enough to simply tell a story. Learners need to be picked up, involved, and accompanied. The story, or even better, the storytelling, must be contextualised. It should be embedded in the didactic planning of the lesson - always against the background of the purpose:- Why do I want to tell this story?
- What do I want to stimulate, trigger, motivate in the learners?
- What competence(s) do I want to foster and develop with my learners?
- What other activities are necessary and suitable for this?
